book about your own life
A book or long piece of writing in which a person writes the story of their own life.
사용 패턴：
an autobiography of [someone]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse "autobiography" with "biography". An *autobiography* is written by the person about their own life, while a *biography* is written by another person. Learners may also mix up "autobiography" and "memoir"; a memoir usually focuses on part of a life or on special experiences, not necessarily the whole life story.
유의어
memoir (Often focuses on certain periods, themes, or experiences in a life, instead of telling the full life story from beginning to end.)
|
life story (More general and informal; can be spoken or written and is not necessarily a book.)
반의어
biography (A written account of a person's life by someone else, not by the person themself.)

자주 하는 실수：
Learners may not realize that "autobiography" can be used for films, music, or other art, not only for traditional books. In these cases, the word is used a bit loosely to mean that the work closely follows the creator's real life.
유의어
self-portrait (Often used for visual art; suggests a picture of the self, sometimes used figuratively for works that reveal a lot about the creator's life or character.)
반의어
pure fiction (Describes a work that is completely invented and not based on the creator's real life.)
